Swedish or relaxation massage is the type of massage most people think of or have seen in the media. Swedish massage includes long gliding strokes, kneading, percussion, vibration, friction and joint movements. Most of these techniques are incorporated in any western style massage. This work can be used primarily for relaxation or for more therapeutic effects. Swedish massage generally improves circulation of blood and lymph, relaxes muscles, improves joint mobility and increases overall relaxation.

Deep tissue massage targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body’s surface. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain. When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limit movement, and create inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement.

Sports massage is focused and systematic, using various techniques to decrease muscle pain and improve recovery, as well as increase overall range of motion and flexibility to support safe and effective movement. A sports massage is different from a regular massage in that it addresses specific muscles or injury-related areas affected by the activity you’re doing. Sports massage is usually done through clothing. Sports massage can help you with your training, rehabilitation, and pre- or post-performance goals. While often sought by elite and amateur athletes, sports massage can also be beneficial for anyone who regularly exercises.

Chair massage is an innovative and convenient format that makes massage more accessible. It is a 10-15 minute massage focused on the back, shoulders, neck, arms, and head designed to relax the muscles and improve flexibility and movement. This relaxing and recharging mobile massage session will have you ergonomically seated in a specialized massage chair, with your face resting in a cradle while your arms are supported by a special shelf. Your back and neck are fully relaxed in this position. There is no need to change or shower after.

I can provide chair massage at your office, family get-together, or as part of a corporate or sports event. Chair massage is priced at $75/hour with a two-hour minimum plus a trip charge of $50.  Two hours provides six to eight sessions. Contact me for more information.
